About the Wine
Burgundy is, for many, held as the epitome wine. The region has captured the attention and imagination of several people - industry professionals and punters alike - with it's beautiful siren song. Taupenot-Merme has definitely got us hypnotised.
From a spread of vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1986, this shows the vigour of youth but, at the same time, a refined subtlety. Ripe berries and cherries are strewn across the wine, with fleshy tannins and brooding spice. Fruit, spice and oak are all in a harmonious balance here. This is precision marksmanship, and exactly why we fell in love with Burgundy in the first place.
About Taupenot-Merme
Taupenot-Merme is run by a brother and sister team - Virginie in sales and Romain in the winery. Together, they embody seven generations of winemaking, experience and passion. That said, like many younger winemakers in Burgundy, they aim at completely recognising the potential and power of their priceless family vineyards.
They control 13 hectares around the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits, some of it Grand Cru territory. All grapes are destemmed to allow for greater fruit clarity, with savoury elements coming through thoughtful use of oak. These are self-confident and beautifully structured expressions of Burgundy, and the best is yet to come.

Critic Reviews
"The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is little broody and sultry at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit with touches of sous-bois and white pepper. Lovely balance here and the precision on the finish compensates for the bashful aromatics. It will need 24 months once in bottle and fingers crossed the nose will step up a gear." Neil Martin

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
